SOME Washington correspondent smuses
himself with an elaborate yarn about Col A
Walkers going into training TO step into Sena-
tor Morrll's place at the expiration OF the lat
tcr's term, and that bis appointment as inter-
state commissioner is only a stepping stone.
Col Walker co uld undoubtedly build up into a
senator that W ould be a credit to the state but
be lives on the wrong side Of the mountain to
have any chance Of an election until Edmunds
steps cut, as any ono who Is acquainted with
Vermont ways will understand. The North
field News observes that Gen Grout sis uumis-
takably coming to The front" for the succession
to Morrill,. Gen Grout has succeeded In
streng heniny himself considerably In the past
two years and will quite naturally make a
strong push to be elected senator. But there is
. widespread surm;se that ex Speaker J Mar

a claim when the time comes, and perhaps ex

CARDINAL GIBBONS is supported by Cardinal
Manning, the eminent Engish prelate, in bis
defense OF the knights of Labor from the at
tack Of Cardinal Taschereau of Montreal be-
fore the Holy Sec at Rome. Cardinal Gibbons
reasserts substantially that there is ro:hing in
the order obnoxious to the church. The objec-
ton having been made that Roman Catholics
and Protestants join IN the order, be says in
America 1t is impossible to separate religions
In civil affairs," and be also says 1t is not nee
essary here to "go so far" as to put such an
order under the ,control Of the priests. He
says:
"Strikes are not the invention OF the Knights
but universa', perpetual means by which
workmen protest against what IS unjust aud
demand their rights; second, in such a struggle
of The multitudes OF The poor against hard, Oh
stinaie monopoly, wrath and violence are often
as inevitable as they are regretsble; the laws
and the principal suiL critics of the Knights, so
far from encouraging violence or occasions for
violence, exercise a powerful preventive inilu-
eBce, seeking TO keep strikes within The limits
of legitimate action. An attentive examination
into the violent struggles between labor AID
capital has convinced me OF the irizstice Of AZ
trsbuiiBg violence 10 the Knights.
But the oiTJrt TO bring down tie popc's COZ
demna;ioa upon tie Knights is a strong and
persistent one, and the ohureh's bistorc aiii.
fnde toward secret societies. especially since its
break with the Asscns, is what gives it promise
Of success.

SENATOR SHERMAN inconsiderately straDgles
the effort to make sectional capital out of tie
Birmingham hotel episode, where the landlord
refused admission to a delegation of colored
men who wished to call on the senator. "Whas
pleased NE most" he says, "was that the rep
resentative people at Birmingham of all shades
OF opinion, condemned the hotel keeper and
apologized for the act" That the Stiffness Of
the Birmingham landlord is not usual among

the fact that in Nashville and other places
coored gentlemen have called upon the sena-
tor without the slightest objection.

Blaine on Jefferson.

In his speech before the Merchants Exchange

declare that, next to Washington, Thomas JET.

Amesican citizens
The wftchful care, the great nerve and cour.
age, the statesmanlike grasp OF Thomas Jeffer-
son, standing between the policy of France and
the aggressive energy OF Great Britain, plucked
the whole territory o! Louisiana from the amb-
tlon OF both and made 1t an american state, and
that vast domain for which be gave Sl5 o 900
Is now represented in seven great and prosperous
states and three territories, which In the course
OF time will add four or five states, possibly to
tho American Union. Never was a conquest
so great, so extensive, acquired by peaceful
methods. Never was so great conquest made
by war that a corquerlng power was able to
hold.
Mr. Blaine ought to have been historian by
profession, for there his higher qualities, his
chivalric fairness Of mind and bis broad COM
prehension OF motives, of great principles and
tcnde ncics, have fall opportunity to show them
selves, without any suggestion of the cheaper
arts and meaner tricks OF the avarice and am.
biton Of the day that have detracted so much
from his fame as political leader. What Mr.
Blaine says of Jefferson is the merest historical
justice, but 1t is something very uncommon
nevertheless for Nsw England leaders to ac-
cord.

state in national contests, Massachusetts is go

The federal supreme court has decided the
famous New York national bank cases against
the banks, that claimed for themselves the
privileges thar the state law accords to savings
banks under the provision Of the national bank
ing act that forbids their being taxed higher
than other "moneyed capital" The expression
clearly had but one intention, namely, to pro.
:ect rational banks from hostile or discriminat-
lug taxation ON the part OF the states calculated
to prejudice their success or existence. The
court SO holds, and demolishes the nonsensIcal
claim that If a state chooses 10 extend charity
10 some other interest in the way Of partial or
complete exemption from taxation 1t must Go
the same for national banks. The decision will
not only be great relief to many public treas
urics the amount withheld from payment in
the New York city being some millions) but
will also relieve legislation from an embarrass-
ing restri ction of tho power of the states to
regulate their own internal taxation as they
saw fit.

A REPORT Is in circulation that there is to be
another advance Of 40 10 so cents ton in the
price OF coal. Last fall the coal combine added
a dollar ton to prices, and the purchasers are
now paying 1t. Then the combine exerted all
OF its we'll organized and centralized power to
defeat the demand of Its laborers for part of
this extra profit in the way of increased wages.
In the intervals between this manipulation Of
prices mp and wages down, these coal barons
go before congress to solemnly asservate that
the protective tariff mustn't be touched, because
every cent Of it is necessary to protect American
labor from the ''pauper competition" Of Europe.

HE interstate railroad commission

| THE Interstate railroad commission organ
lied Friday by the election Of Judge Cooley ior
chairman. It's first action Is to bold the .S.gs
on petition Of the Southern railroad pool, pre-
vidcd no increase is made in the local rates in
force March 81. This Is fair and cautious and
indicates that the commission does not propose
that the law shall be ayaled of as en- excuse
for advances in rates, while it Is willing to
use the large discretionary powersgiven to i, by
congress, SO as to do no wrong to any interest,
and after full inquiry and argument to adopt a
rule which shall be applicable to the whole
country. The ground for the petition OF the
Southern pool is that they must compete with
water lines. Some OF the petitions for relief be-
fore the board indicate conside, able msconcep-
ton of the law. For instance, the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie asks to have the short haul provision
suspended in its case between Pittsburgh and
New York, on the ground that Its line is longer
than the Pennsylvania Central route-a mat
ter to which the law hes no reference. II says
nothing whatever abou: the rates of diff.
ferent roads as between each other. 1t
simply forbids any road to make unjust or
discriminating charges In its own business, to
charge more for the same work on part of Its
line than on the whole Of 1t, or on greater part
in which tie lesser is included. Such pro-
vision Is simple justice, for if railroad finds
any profit In making the long haul at o given
price, 1t ought not to charge more to points in
volving less outlay Of effort As the Springfield
Republican well says:
Non.competing points have rights In other
words. They ought not to be taxed
heavily to enable the roads to do business for
big cities at an actual dead loss. The
great proftableness Of through business Is al |
ready an exploded humbug. II profitable 1t |
simply excites the cupidi.y OF black maiers to |
build cheap parallels. The railroads Of the |
future will make their peace under this act by |
giving favorable rates to local traffic and they |
will find dividends for their stock holders in the
same wise policy. Tho crazs for "great |
through lines" is coming to head and it will |
be like the head OF boil, very sore, before 1t
bursts,

! TIE meetings that are being held all over
England and Scotland, to protest against the
crimes coercion bill, have already made them.
selves felt on tho tory ministry, which now
| announces its abandonment OF that feature OF
the bill which provides for haling Irishmen to
London to be tried by Elglish jurcs. "Agita-
| tioD, protestatiou, demonstration-thes are the
needs OF the hour" Is the phrase In which
Gladstone summarizes the situation, and such
policy ought to make it plain to all intelligent
Englishmen that the Salisbury -Bafcuf policy
is simply one to "Russianizs administration in
Ireland" as John Morley characierizes 1t.
The worst feature of the bill is nov removed,
but there remains the abolition of jury uial,
the summary powers conferred upon maeis-
trates of sentencing whom they please to six
months Imprisonment the abridgment OF the
rights of the press, and the provision which
makes all these abnormal and extraordinary
restrictions permanent, instead Of temporary
merely, in their application The bill pro-
poses to crush out q resistance that does not
exist by the suppression OF free speech, and by
treating a whole people as criminals Cefore
even one Of them has been proven guilty. And
against such a program, enforced as
1t was by the cloture resolution Saturday,
Gladstone and Parnell made their solemn
protest effective by Withdrawing In a body with
th.ir followers from the hall. But while such
measures are proposed In the commons it is in.
teres,ing to note the different policy outlined by
the Earl of Cadogan's bills in the house of
peers. He proposes as a government measure
to admit some l60, 900 lease-holders to the BEN
e6ts Of 0adstone's appropriation act OF 1851
bill which all Torydom at the time denounced
as the quintessence Of robbery and commun-
ism. Earl Cadogan says that there are insolv-
ent tenants that need government protection,
and he acknowledges that there IS something
radically wrong about these evictions, by pro-
posing bill which makes 1t impossible to evict
a tenant at once or until six months after the
writ has been issues, from which date rcdemp- !
tion shall run, and appeals shall bs made to the
courts, introducing contests enough to last the |
20 courts Of ireland the rest of this century at
least. And the most astonishing feature.of this
bill is that 1t gives this right only to tenants
who refuse to pay any Of their rent, while the |
coercion bill Is aimed at those who offer to pay I
q part pending judicial settlement Of what is
due. The commons bill is as wicked as 1t can
be and Cadogan's eq1aliy as inpracIcable.
cadogan accompanies his bill with some vague !!
alk about general land purchase bill. <
